Death Around the Corner

[Intro]

Child: Why you by the window? What's wrong daddy?

Mother: I know what's wrong with that crazy motherfucker

He just stand by the goddamn window

With that fuckin' AK all day (There you go)

You don't work, you don't fuck, you don't eat

You don't even do a goddamn thing

[Verse 1]

I see death around the corner, gotta stay high while I survive

In the city where the skinny niggas die

If they bury me, bury me as a G, nigga, no need to worry

I expect retaliation in a hurry

I see death around the corner, any day

Tryin' to keep it together, no one lives forever anyway

Strugglin' and strivin', my destiny's to die

Keep my finger on the trigger, no mercy in my eyes

In a ball of confusion, I'm thinkin' 'bout my daddy

Madder than a motherfucker, they never shoulda had me

I guess I seen too many murders, the doctors can't help me

Got me stressin' with my pistol in my sheets, it ain't healthy

Am I paranoid? Tell me the truth

I'm out the window with my AK, ready to shoot

Ran out of indo, and my mind can't take the stress, I'm out of breath

Make me wanna kill my damn self, but I see death around the corner

[Chorus]

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

I see death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

[Verse 2]

I see death around the corner, the pressure's gettin' to me

I no longer trust my homies — them phonies tried to do me

Smokin' too much weed, got me paranoid, stressed

Pack a gat and a vest under my clothes when I dress

Here's hopin' I die the way I lived, straight thuggin'

Huggin' my trigger for all them niggas that was buggin'

My homie told me once, "Don't you trust them other suckers

They front like they your homies, but they phony motherfuckers"

And even if I did die young, who'd care?

All I ever got was mean mugs and cold stares

Got homies in my head that done passed away screamin' "Please!"

Young nigga, make G's

I can't give up, although I'm hopeless, I think my mind's gone

All I can do is get my grind on

Death around the corner

[Chorus]

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

Death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

[Verse 3]

(I was raised) I was raised in the city, shitty

Ever since I was an itty bitty kiddy

Drinkin' liquor out my momma's titty

And smokin' weed was an everyday thang in my household

And drinkin' liquor 'til you out cold

And though I'm grown now, nigga, it's still on — pow!

Bustin on them niggas 'til they gone

How many more jealous ass bitches comin' for my riches?

Now I gotta be suspicious when I bone

'Cause if I ain't sharp and heartless, them bitches'll start shit

Excuse me, but this is where we part, bitch

No more game for free, please explain to me

Why niggas trip, bitch, who you came to see?

Murder me now but see me later man, that's on my pops

I got homies that will hunt you 'til you drop

I hope the Lord can forgive me

I was a G, and gettin' high was a way of bein' free

I see death around the corner

[Chorus]

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

I see death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good...")

I see death around the corner

("But having respect, that feels even better...")

I see death around the corner

[Outro]

This is for all the real motherfuckin' niggas out there

I know you ain't scared to die; we all gotta go, y'know?

A real motherfucker will pick the time he goes

And make sure he handles his motherfuckin' business

(You think you're gonna live long enough to spend that money, you fuckin' hump?)

Y'all niggas stop actin' like pussies out there, all right?

If any of you...

Are tired of gettin' ripped off by guys like that...

I want his family dead! I want his house burnt to the ground!

I wanna go there in the middle of the night, I wanna piss on his ashes!

I want his family dead! I want his house burnt to the ground!

I wanna go there in the middle of the night, I wanna piss on his ashes!

I want that son of a bitch dead, I want him dead!

I want him dead, I don't care...
